Keywords:
business world, coronavirus disease pandemic, industry, partnership management, school leadership, school partnershipsAbstract
This paper sought to explore school leadership practices, the management of school partnerships with the industry, and the challenges faced in implementing partnerships during the COVID-19 pandemic. Embracing an exploratory research design including a sequential model, the present research involved 89 principals, vice principals, and productive teachers from government-funded secondary schools who directly engage in the management of school partnerships with the industry. Findings reveal that school leadership practices implemented a participatory approach. School management was employed to optimize the role of vice principals, program heads, and productive teachers. The challenge of establishing partnerships during the COVID-19 pandemic lies in implementing an independent learning policy assisted by information and communication technology.
